Can you compute the price of a 5-year zero coupon bond from 2 5 year coupon bonds?

If the 2 5 years are exactly the same with the exception of having coupons (same lender, same claims, same everything) then yes you should be able to. The trick is finding the right yield curve and discounting everything back to the present value. The coupons can be treated as mini zero-coupon bonds in their own right.

Explain why an expectation of Central Bank official rate hikes would cause bond price to fall?
The price of bonds is inversely related to interest rates. If interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds will decline since the coupon rate available on newly issued debt will be higher due to the increase in interest rates. The price of existing bonds will drop in price until the bond provides a yield similar to comparable newly issued debt.

What is the taxation of zero coupon bonds held to maturity?
Zero coupon bonds issued by the US Treasury are issued at a discount to face value. An investor holding zero coupon bonds is paid the full face value when the zero coupon bond matures. The difference between the purchase price and the maturity value is know as the original issue discount which represents the interest earned on the zero coupon bond. Although a zero coupon bond does not pay annual interest, an investor must pay taxes each year based on the imputed receipt of income. Since the investor is not receiving interest payments during the life of the bond, taxes would be paid on interest income not actually received until bond maturity. Due to the yearly tax liability on imputed interest, it makes sense for most investors to hold zero coupon bonds in a tax deferred retirement account. The interest earned on zero coupon bonds issued by the US Treasury are exempt from state and local taxes.
